Michael Goldrick, WPXI Pittsburgh news director, has been named vice president of news at WRC Washington. He starts Nov. 26 and replaces Camille Edwards, who took the top news spot at WABC New York earlier this year.

NBC owns WRC.

"Mike is a proven news leader who knows how to be competitive," said Jackie Bradford, WRC president and general manager. "I am very excited that our newsroom and our viewers will benefit from his experience, his creativity and his strategic thinking."

Goldrick also held news leadership roles at WHEC Rochester, KOMO Seattle and WSOC Charlotte.

"I'm honored to be joining this distinguished newsroom at a station with such a proud legacy of serving its viewers," Goldrick said. "WRC has a strong reputation across the country, and I can't wait to get started."
